| Course | What Sort of Classroom Best Supports Learners? | |||
| Led by | Adrian Gray, MA (Cantab) National and International Consultant | |||
| Details | Some fascinating new research has raised questions about what an effective classroom should look like and has suggested that some of our most colourful and stimulating environments may actually be having a negative impact on some of the learners. This is a short and incisive look into the research on this topic which will help you answer the question, ‘Are we getting this right or wrong?’ Given that every pupil spends hours every day in a classroom, it is a topic that we really ought to know about.

| Course | Quizzes, Tests & Assessments | |||
| Led by | Adrian Gray, MA (Cantab) National and International Consultant | |||
| Details | Over the last few years, the emphasis in Ofsted inspections has moved on from your curriculum ‘intent’ to planning and now especially to the role and use of assessment – notably in the foundation subjects. At the same time, the focus on staff well-being has set some parameters for what assessment can look like. This seminar looks at some highly regarded research about how quizzes and tests can be fun and developmental, promoting learning in and of themselves. We will consider how introducing a sense of competition and even having teams take tests together can enhance the learning impact so that assessment actually creates learning as well as…..assessing it!
